Jenny Grey

Lyrics

I watched as you watched me with hope in my heart And I wondered what your eyes were telling me then But a wall drew around me and trapped me forever And there was no key that could free me again

I passed by a headstone, which no shadows darkened There I saw a young woman with flowers and tears And I envied the soul for whom she was grieving And I lost all desire to continue my years

When they are drying the blood from my body And the flowers and grieving are all for me And when I am gone into Hell or to Heaven Jenny Grey cry for me

We walked together in the cool summer morning And the birds were all singing in the valley below But the wind stole their voices as the sweet vision faded And I walked home without you alone

When they are drying the blood from my body And the flowers and grieving are all for me And when I am gone into Hell or to Heaven Jenny Grey cry for me

The factory gates have all closed down before me And the lights are dimming on the edge of the town And they are singing a sad hymn in the church in the village And your face looks so sad as the tears flow down

When they are drying the blood from my body And the flowers and grieving are all for me And when I am gone into Hell or to Heaven Jenny Grey cry for me
